I started with my SDL almost 3 years ago, hooked on the damned thing, fixing just about every little thing wrong with it, including a paint job.
After hardly ever driving it, in all that time, I grew bored of not using it and decided to sell it after noticing the dip**** mechanic chipped the paint while replacing the sunroof seal. I figured it woul dalways give me headaches. So I had it detailed, refinished the wood console and had it looking nice. Really nice with the hopes of selling it here or on ebay. I went to the dealership, thinking of buying a new 30k truck and on the way, fell in love with my car all over again, didn't buy the new truck and now it's a daily driver. At 336K miles, it runs like a champ, and looks great too! Plus no extra car or insurance payments.

AutoGeek.net is a great retailer so is the Autopia.org page Chemical Guys makes some really good products. I thought that this forum was addictive.... Autopia is wayy more addicting... Too bad I'm no longer in CT as I would have been glad to help you w/ the detailing excursion... So much to learn, start reading those threads |

I'll wait to get it painted first. Now I don't care, just wipe some wax all over it every month or so.

It was always a hobby.....
....you just hadn't found the right car to turn it into an obsession.
